i'm not sure exactly what to say about this past week... it was a pretty incredible experience. the kids are great this year. they're already achieving beyond anything we could hope. they're still young, so the end of the week was definitely harder than the first part... their discipline started deteriorating. But even so, their attitude and excitement was very uplifting for everyone on staff. Well... with the possible exception of Ray, but that's another story.

i'm betting that dca championships either just happened or is going to happen next week, and it makes me think of all of my east coast buddies. i want to go out and see them really bad... both to see them march and kick ass, and also just hang out and party with them in a hotel and get kicked out by security or something.
